Adrian Belew Modern Man Hurricane Blues Lyrics

When I was a boy
simple times, simple joy
and life was not full of hate and chaos
a modern man
lives in some kind of hurricane
I need your love to keep me calm
when the world is a storm
Hell fire man desire
downtown scream siren
ghetto gun drug lord
kill children stillborn
asphalt flesh bone
trash bag alley bomb Hey, hey, it's a sin
about the shape the world is in
hey, hey, it's a shame
modern man hurricane
Earth dump suck soil
sewer spit sea oil
toxic ocean chemical fish
man made death wish
Hey, hey, it's a shame
modern man hurricane
I need your love to keep me calm
when the world's a storm
